Mother-daughter book clubs are a great way to encourage reading, bonding, and socializing among mothers, daughters, and their friends. But these clubs can do more than that, suggests educational psychologist and parenting coach Lori Day. They can create a safe and empowering haven where girls can freely discuss and navigate issues surrounding girlhood. In Her Next Chapter, Day draws from experiences in her own club and her expertise as an educator to offer a timely and inspiring take on mother-daughter book clubs. She provides overviews of eight of the biggest challenges facing girls today, such as negative body image, bullying, gender stereotypes, media sexualization, unhealthy relationships, and more, while weaving in carefully chosen book, movie, and media recommendations; thoughtful discussion questions; and group activities and outings that extend and enrich conversations and make clubs fun. Her Next Chapter outlines how mothers can use the magic of books to build girls' confidence and sense of possibility as leaders, allies, and agents of change. A list of further resources and reflections and observations from Day's now-adult daughter, Charlotte, round out this indispensible resource for anyone who cares about, teaches, or works with girls.

If you feel stuck with no idea what you should do next, lifestyle celebrity and TV pioneer Debbie Travis's bestseller is for you. Drawing on the lessons she learned in her own leap into a new way of living, along with a multitude of stories, tips and ideas to jumpstart your dreams, Debbie's created an inspiring roadmap for change. A few years ago, Debbie Travis realized that she was no longer challenged by her wildly successful TV career, yet she was so busy she was missing out on the people and things that made her happy. She dared to dream about a whole new direction in life--a plan to turn a 13th-century farmhouse in Tuscany into a unique hotel and retreat for people who need a change as much as she did. And now she is not only living that dream but sharing it with others. Her new book draws directly on her own experiences (when she started, Debbie could barely make a bed, let alone run a hotel in a foreign county) and the uplifting stories of personal u-turns shared by women who have come to her retreats. Debbie's "commandments" will inspire women (and men) who have lost track of who they are or what they want to be; who are going through the motions of a career that doesn't satisfy them anymore; who are wondering what to do with themselves now that their kids are gone or their marriage is over. On every page, Debbie shares the tools that helped her transform her life. Her common-sense advice, often delivered with her trademark humour, will help motivate anyone who finds themselves standing at a crossroads wondering "What's next for me?"

The Next Chapter proposes that our lifestyles, homes, and escapes are not places, things, or events but rather mindsets shaped by expectations and priorities we have set for ourselves and our futures. And then The Next Chapter gets right down to providing tools to help mid-life people change those mindsets to create the future they truly want. Through their long careers as realtors, working with clients at important crossroads in their lives, the authors have witnessed the regenerative potential a midlife crisis can bring and discovered that there’s a “reboot” option to create a better future. Practical, inspirational, and highly readable, The Next Chapter tackles wide-ranging issues common to those of us in midlife such as: adjusting positively to unexpected financial reverses, identifying personal priorities, coping with loss, creating a “bucket list,” choosing a retirement lifestyle, buying a new home, and even keeping one’s assets out of the hands of self-serving lawyers in the unfortunate event of a divorce. Through an examination of the foundational building blocks that shape our belief systems, they have devised a system to help you navigate what’s ahead on your life’s journey. Warm, wise, and empathetic, the authors use “case studies” of people’s mid-life stories and a well-constructed system of deep questions and practical steps to help you determine the future you really want and steer your way to it.
